Small...... Bub? Hearing Ivan's title, Qian Qian was even more shocked. Such a big guy is still a small guy? She carefully observed the creature in front of her, with a sharp, huge beak like an eagle's hook, a face covered with feathers, and eyes like eagles, but on its head there were a pair of ears that were erect and rounded in shape, with fluffy ears, and two long strands of long hair standing up on the tips of the ears, like the tufts of the ears of a feline.

Its front chest is covered with feathers, and its front paws are two large eagle claws, and the huge hooks on the claws look like sharp swords. Behind the front paws are a pair of huge wings, each of which appears to be a meter long, with the outermost layer of the wings being long.

But other than these positions, the rest of the guy's skin is covered with thick fuzz, like the hair of a short-haired cat, which looks thick and soft, its hind legs are very strong, a pair of wide soles, it looks like a feline's big feet, its nails are slightly tucked, and it is stepped on the grass with large meat pads.

Behind it, a long, fluffy and flexible tail is coiled near its hind legs, and there is a pinch of long hair at the top of the tail, which looks fluffy and makes people want to touch it. This is such a super nice big guy! Every part looks perfect!

"Won't you say hello Lily?" Ivan said to Qian Qian: "It can understand. Griffins are extremely intelligent and graceful creatures, they can understand all human speech and movements, of course, if you want it to speak, it is a bit difficult to make it talk, its tongue has a hard hyoid bone, not as soft and flexible as a human tongue, and is not suitable for making sounds. ”

"Hello," Qian Qian admired and stared at the big guy in front of him, "My name is Lily, Lily Burt, I am eleven years old this year, and I am an apprentice magician. ”

The big guy in front of Qian Qian stared at Qian Qian for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his head and let out a sharp chirp into the sky, the sound was a little like an eagle's roar. A few seconds later, there were a few sharp echoes from the other side of the mountain, and a large field of griffons emerged from behind the cliff with their wings outstretched, casting a huge black shadow on the ground that covered the valley as if it were cloudy.

The griffin led by him was like the previous one, and swooped in the direction of Qian Qian and Ivan, but in a few seconds, a large number of griffins landed in front of Qian Qian, and the whirlwind of the wings blew Qian Qian so that he couldn't stand, his skirt flew, and the whole person involuntarily retreated backwards, and he couldn't stand still and was about to fall, but the old Ivan was just the opposite, standing firmly in place, with a long white beard flying backwards and upwards, all covering his face.

The griffin that landed first before looked at Qian Qian, stretched out one of its huge front paws, and gently patted Qian Qian's windblown skirt upside down, and snorted......

Belch...... Qian Qian looked at the huge gap on the hem of his skirt and the huge claw hook inserted in the center of the skirt that looked very amazing, like an iron hook. All right~! On the bright side, she at least stood still.

"it!!" 7788 made a fuss: "Fortunately, it only sticks out one claw toe, otherwise you would have a few more bloody holes waiting to die!" ”

The griffon, which had hooked Qian Qian's dress, seemed to be surprised, and it quickly withdrew its claw hook, staring at its paws in surprise with its black and yellow pupils, its hard beak slightly open. It probably didn't expect humans to be so fragile, and it actually broke a big hole with a light hook.

After Ivan hurriedly pulled down the beard that covered his eyes, he saw the surprised griffin and Qian Qian with a black line on his face, and he laughed at the speechless man and beast: "Oh, it's okay, you little guy is probably not used to getting along with humans, but Lily won't mind!" That's right, little Lily! ”

"That's right! It doesn't matter, I don't mind. Qian Qian lifted the hem of her skirt, looked at the hole bigger than her head, and laughed with Ivan. Fortunately, she wore two pairs of pants under her skirt for the convenience of her activities and warmth.

Hearing Qian Qian's answer, the troubled griffin let out a short, high-pitched chirp, as if expressing happy emotions. At that moment, a larger griffon moved behind it, stretched out one of its wings and gently patted the griffon's back, and winked at Ivan with its huge eyes.

"It's your child?" Ivan's gentle eyes fell on the huge griffin: "A nice boy!" My little Lily is also a good child, she is an apprentice magician, she has never seen a griffon before, I took her to the Ogas Mountains to see her for a long time. ”

Qian Qian thought about it, probably Ivan is quite good at fooling people...... Oh no...... In short, they stayed in the Ogas Mountains for about two months, and the griffons were curious and friendly to them.

For the first month, Qian Qian played with the griffin who scratched her clothes every day, and heard Ivan say that the big griffin was an underage young man, although he was very strong, but he was still quite young, and his mother was the griffin who greeted Ivan before. It seems to be really curious about humans, and sometimes, when Ivan asks Qian Qian to practice magic on the hillside, it just squats aside and looks at it, and it seems to never get tired of watching.

As Ivan said, griffins are very intelligent creatures, they can understand human language without any problems, and Qian Qian often talks about his parents, his hometown of Fort Salfid, his travels with Ivan, and why he left home at a young age. She also gave the little griffin a name Safin, which is a combination of the words Salfield and Griffin.

Safin was clearly fond of the name, and every time Qian Qian called it that, he would let out a short, pleasant chirp. It will also gurgle from its throat to communicate with Qian Qian, of course, every time Qian Qian needs to make a lot of effort to figure out what it wants to express.

Qian Qian felt that he was already very capable of understanding Safin's expressions with grunts, but it was really amazing! Ivan seems to be able to communicate with the griffins without barriers, which makes Qian Qian envious.

"It's a gift from the years." Ivan told Qian Qian: "When you live to my age, you probably know more than me." ”

However, the communication barrier did not prevent Qian Qian and Safin from developing a friendship, and one day a month later, Safin poked Qian Qian's shoulder with the tip of its huge wings, and then turned his head to look at his back, grunting in his throat. Qian Qian stared at his new friend in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "You...... You let me sit on your back?? Are you sure? ”
